Hello! I posted here at the end of Nov trying to figure out 3 of the breeds I got from My Pet Chicken. They were a Rare Breeds Assortment. I've been able to identify 4 of the 7, but the last 3 are really stumping me. I have ideas, but I'd like some more input. They are now 5 months old, so it might be easier to tell. To narrow the choices, here are the options of what they could be(I removed from the list the breeds I know they can't be):
  • Buckeye
  • Ancona
  • Easter Egger
  • Ameraucana (Wheaten, Blue, Black, Splash)
  • Black Sumatra
  • Andalusian (Blue, Black, or Splash)
  • Marans (Silver Cuckoo, Golden Cuckoo, Black Copper, Blue Copper, Blue Splash, White)
  • Delaware
  • Hamburg (Assorted colors)
  • Jersey Giant
  • Black Langshans

Here are the pics:

I know the BO. :)






 
Hey there! I know you don't have any Ameraucanas pictured there. They have fluffier cheeks and heads than what any of yours have. My "Ameraucana" doesn't necessarily fit the breed standard, so she might actually be an Easter Egger according to the Chicken Chick. She lays pretty, large, aqua colored eggs. Here's a link that might help: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html

The white one with the black speckles - I have one that looks just like that and some other posters have suggested she could be an Austra white.

Your red hen looks to have a pea comb, so that would be a Buckeye.

The black hen with the white earlobes would be an Andalusian.

The splash hen is probably a Marans. I can't see if she has feathered legs? But if she has white skin (check the bottoms of her feet, that's a good place to tell skin color), that's your girl.
 
Yes, her lobes are white. She's so flighty, it's hard to close enough to check! Their legs are a slate grey color, so that might be another tell.
Thank you for all the help!!!!
